Yes, it appears to be compiled into the socket module if the relevant
Bluetooth library (libbluetooth) and header file (bluetooth.h) were
available when Python was built.

By design, though a previous, unreleased version used the bluetooth module
provided by PyBluez (http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/) which contains its
own BluetoothSocket class before I released that the socket module could
also support Bluetooth sockets.

I guess I could change the package to use BluetoothSocket if Bluetooth
support isn't provided by the user's socket module.
